Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup sea salt
  • ¼ cup chive blossoms

Instructions
 

  • Collect whole chive blossoms and rinse with cool water to remove any dirt. Place them on a large baking sheet or a wire rack and allow them to dry at room temperature for a few hours until all of the additional moisture is gone. 
  • When the chive blossoms are dry, gently pull the blossom petals off and add them to a plate lined with paper towels. Stir in the salt and allow to sit until the petals are dry and feel papery, roughly 3-4 days, stirring daily.
  • Once dry, transfer the mixture to a jar and keep sealed. This will keep up to a year stored in a dry, cool place.
